NO NOMINATION AFTER

Baltimore, June 29.?With Governor

lot and Speaker Champ Clark constantly
losing ground in theVace for
the presidential nomination, the Democratic
national convention at 11.05 tonight
adjourned until Monday morning
at 11 o'clock.
Twenty-six ballots had been taken
- " a 11 -tV. ? on/1 fViorA
since nrsi ca.ii tu me mm ^
was no hope of a final verdict tonight.
It is against all political precedent
for a national convention to sit on
Sunday, but tomorrow will be a day of
conferences among party leaders and
a day of hard work for campaign managers.
When the convention took a recess
tonight, Speaker Clark was hurrying
to Baltimore from Washington, in response
to an urgent call from his cam
paign director.
William Jennings Bryan, at the afternoon
session, attacked Clark and
said he would not vote for any man
willing to accept the nomination at
the hands of "Murphy, of Tammany
Hall."
To Answer Bryan's Attack.
It was the plan of Mr. Clark to apa
XTAn fian on/1 Qn- 1
VC1U1 C tile vvuT^uvivu auLu ?,*i
swer this. In this way his managers
hoped to bolster the falling vote.
The ballots today ran from the thir-1
teenth to the twenty-sixth. Wilson began
at 356 1-2 and ended at 407 1-2. a
net gain during the day of 51 votes.
Speaker Clark began at 554 and fell to
463 1-2, loss of 90 1-2 votes.
The anti-Clark leaders in the con-1
vention called attention to the fact
that this almost exafctly offset the 90
V * '
votes given to Clark by the New York
delegation. Breaks to Governor Wil-|
ton were coming from many delega-i
tions as the balloting closed. His
managers believed that once he had
overtaken Speaker Clark, the switch
ing of delegates would become general.
>,y' j Hard Work Sunday.
The Clark forces plan to make a desperate
effort tomorrow to win back
seme of the delegates lost today and
in this work they probably will have
the personal direction of the speaker
himself. The Wilson forces, meantime,
expect to fight not only to hold
their gains of today, but to induce
mere to desert tne otner candidates.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, tonight
made a motion to eliminate the candidate
receiving the lowest number of
votes on each succeeding ballot after
th? twenty-seventh, until only one?
the winner?was left in the race.
There was a storm of objection and the
subject was pressed no further.
Ohio Helps Clark.
The Harmon delegates from Ohio
threw their support to Speaker Clark
on several ballots* but they did not
materially help him toward the necessary
two-thirds vote, because of the
gradual inroads made by Wilson. They
then changed back to Harmon and remained
there until the last ballot of
the evening.
ilThe great bulk of the Massachusetts
/delegation deserted Clark tonight and J
; started a Foss boom. It created little
; . - excitement.

vention is the most remarkable in the

Monday, and the fight may be prolonged
for several days.
The Clark people -ire still confident
V
that enough of their delegates will re "oiam
steadfast to constitute the neces
sary one-third to prevent a nomina
w.tion.
-Many of the delegates were hopeful
that an early decision might be reached,
but the two leading candidates
were tonight so far short of the 725 1-3

problem ahead seemed a most difficult

! NECiKO LYNCHED 151 PICKENS MOB
i
! Attempted Assault and Shot Woman
in the Back?Took Victim From
Sheriff.
i
i
Greenville, June 29.?Having attempted
to assault the wife of a highly
zespectable farmer of Pickens county
and having shot her twice in the
o cincrlck-hflrr^lfkH fihotenin as
IJCXX. 1\ VTibU CL ? o -
she ran through the fields to her husband,
Brooks Gordon, a young negro,
was torn from the custody of the
sheriff by a determined mob late this
afternoon and lynched. The woman is
reported to be resting well, and her
chances of recovery are favorable unless
complications set in. The crime
is one of the most atrocious of the
kind ever committed in this section of
the State, and the portion of Pickens
county where the offense was perpe
trated was in a terrible turmoil from
the time the deed became known until
th? thirst for vengeance had been satisfied.
According to reports from Easley
tonight, the negro attacked the woman
as she was at work in the field at 10
o'clock this morning. She broke loose
from him and ran through the fields
toward her husband, who was about a
nait mile away.
The negro carried a single-barreled;
shotgun and demanded to know of the
woman if she intended reporting th?
matter to her husband. She replied,
as she ran, that she would tell her
husband, and then the negro leveled
the gun at her and fired. The' wound
did not deter the woman in her purpose.
The negro ran after her, reload
ing his gun as he ran. He demanded
of her the second time if she intended
telling her husband, but before she
could reply he raised his gun and fired
upon her again.
x Having fired the second, shot into
the back of the fleeing woman, the negro
turned and ran toward the mountains.
Npws of the outrasre auicklv
spread throughout the surrounding
country and a mob of angry men
gathered and started in pursuit. The
chase continued for several hours, but
Sheriff Roark, of Pickens county, beat
the mob in the race, capturing -the.
negro about 15 miles from the scene
of his crime.
The sheriff started toward the Pickens
jail with his prisoner, but was
overtaken by the mob and the prisoner
taken away from him.
